Introduction

This parameterized cell draws a cross. This may be useful, for example, for drawing alignment marks.

Parameters

Any parameter may be modified, if necessary, to meet design rules. Typically, this involves increasing parameters that specify
distances, so that minimum line width and minimum line spacing rules will not be violated. This has been extended to the
convention of specifying a zero for some parameters to obtain an instance of the minimum size.

In addition to the parameters listed below, several technology parameters also influence the implementation of parameterized
cells. This data must be present in the technology library.
